The next day, Qin Shaochu had breakfast. found that Duan Lun was not at home, and after inquiry, he found out that he had gone to the morning court early in the morning. I heard that Duan Lun was quite anxious when he left. Qin Shaochu thought about it in his heart, it should have happened to something.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Duan Lun returned to Fuzhong. As soon as Qin Shaochu inquired, he learned that the Dongying Kingdom had actually sent people to explore the agricultural development of the Tang Dynasty. Qin Shaochu opened his mouth and said, "Duan Shangshu, since Dongying came to us, why are you sighing?" ”

Duan Lun glanced at Qin Shaochu: "Young Master Qin, you don't know anything. It looks like a small country. But their agriculture is doing better than ours. I guess I came here to show off their agriculture.

Oh, Qin Shaochu heard this: "Duan Shangshu, since they want to come here to show off, then I can take them but I will take Yangzhou Town." Let them see my 100 acres of fertile land. What do you think? ”

Duan Lun was a little worried: "Young Master Qin, aren't you afraid that they will steal your planting method?" ”

Qin Shaochu shook his head, not worried about what Duan Lun said, "Duan Shangshu, the method I planted is not something that ordinary people can steal. You don't have to worry about that. ”

After listening to Qin Shaochu's words, Duan Lun didn't say anything. "Okay, Gongzi Qin, I'll go tell the emperor and see what the emperor plans." Qin Shaochu thought about it for a moment, "Duan Shangshu, I'll go with you." "I'll tell the emperor about the specific things at that time.

Duan Lun thought about it for a moment, "Hmm." That's fine. ”

On the third day, Duan Lun took Qin Shaochu to the Taiji Hall early in the morning. Duan Lun and Qin Shaochu saluted Li Shimin. After Li Shimin said that he was flat, the two stood up.

Li Shimin looked at the two of them: "Duan Aiqing came here today, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Duan Lun opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Shaochu and I are here for the matter of Dongying. ”

l Li Shimin heard Duan Lun's words: "Oh, the matter of Dongying, Aiqing will talk about it quickly"

Immediately, Duan Lun recounted the agriculture of the Tang Dynasty and the agriculture of Dongying. Of course, if there are some omissions, Qin Shaochu will add them. Li Shimin waited for the two to finish. Lost in thought. After coming over for a while, Li Shimin looked at Qin Shaochu. "Qin Shaochu, are you sure?"

Qin Shaochu saluted, "Your Majesty." Civilian Qin Shaochu was very sure. ”

Li Shimin heard Qin Shaochu's answer, "Okay, this time to meet Dongyingguo, we will go to Yangzhou Town together." ”

When everyone heard this, they all knelt on the ground, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Wait to leave the Taiji Palace. Duan Lun took Qin Shaochu back to Duan Mansion together. At the dinner table, Duan Lun told Qin Shaochu some things that should be paid attention to. Duan Qiuyue heard the conversation between the two, and hurriedly shouted: "Dad, I'm going too, I'm going to Yangzhou Town too." ”

Duan Lun looked at Duan Qiuyue's appearance. "Nonsense. This time, we went to Yangzhou Town with the emperor. It's not about playing, it's about important things. ”

Duan Qiuyue looked at Duan Lun's appearance, and looked at Qin Shaochu helplessly, as if to say, if you don't let my father agree to let me go, you will be finished.

Qin Shaochu was looked at by Duan Qiuyue's gaze. The heads are all big. I had to say to Duan Lun: "Duan Shangshu, I think Miss Duan wants to go, so let her go." You'll go back anyway. I'm not afraid of Miss Duan making trouble. ”

Duan Qiuyue nodded hurriedly, came to Duan Lun's side, and said coquettishly: "Yes, yes, Dad, you just let me go." I'm not going to mess around. ”

Duan Lun listened to Qin Shaochu's words, and when he saw Duan Qiuyue coquettishly to himself, he just nodded; "Okay. But you went with us to the town of Nayangzhou. But you must listen to Daddy, or I will have to lock you up with my subordinates. ”

Duan Qiuyue nodded: "Okay, okay,." Dad, you can rest assured."

Three days passed. During this period, Qin Shaochu asked someone to help him write a letter. Someone was sent to Baijia Village and informed the village chief that the emperor would arrive in Yangzhou Town in the near future. Let them be arranged.

With the arrival of the Tang envoys, Li Shimin received them. Then he took the Tang envoy together and set off to drive Yangzhou Town. It took two days. Qin Shaochu followed Li Shimin and others to Baihua Village in Yangzhou Town.

The villagers of Baihua Village have been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time, looking at these villagers. Qin Shaochu said to Li Shimin for a while, and then came to the entrance of the village, "Village chief, okay, my emperor has something to do this time, you should get out of the way quickly." ”

When the village chief heard Qin Shaochu's words, he hurriedly told the villagers to get out of the way. Li Shimin and his entourage of more than 1,000 people entered the village. When he came to the village, Li Shimin got off the sedan chair and saw the scene in the village, and couldn't help but admire: "Qin Shaochu, I didn't expect that your Baihua Village would be so prosperous. ”

Qin Shaochu heard Li Shimin's appreciation, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't dare, don't dare, all this is still the emperor's credit." If it weren't for the emperor's opening up of the system in recent years, the people would have been able to live a good life. ”

Li Shimin listened to Qin Shaochu's words and laughed; "Qin Shaochu, you are an interesting person. I just don't know if you are interested in becoming an official in the DPRK? ”

When Qin Shaochu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve the emperor." ”

Li Shimin heard it; "Well, I need someone like you. After this incident, you will enter the palace and I will give you a half-official position. ”

"Then thank the emperor"

Li Shimin and others rested for a day in this Baihua Village, and the next day, Qin Shaochu took Li Shimin and the Tang envoy and others to visit Quyuan Plough and the process of planting rice and lychees with the people.

Dongying's envoy to the Tang Dynasty looked at this quyuan plow and found that he had never seen it, and the planting process of rice and lychee was also something he had never seen, and his face was very surprised. Li Shimin was also very proud when he saw their surprise. I thought in my heart, when Qin Shaochu came to the court, what official should I give him.

When everyone was resting, Duan Qiuyue found Qin Shaochu, "Qin Shaochu, you said you took me to eat lychees, now you have time." ”

Qin Shaochu looked at Duan Qiuyue, "Okay, good." Let's go now. After saying that, he said to Duan Lun, and took Duan Qiuyue to the lychee garden together.

The people in the garden all knew Qin Shaochu, and when they saw Qin Shaochu coming, they all greeted Qin Shaochu. Duan Qiuyue looked at the lychees on the lychee tree, and suddenly became anxious, "Qin Shaochu, I'm going to pick it." ”

Qin Shaochu nodded, "Go ahead, but you have to be careful, don't break the branches of the lychee tree." ”

Duan Qiuyue hurriedly ran over, you can rest assured. Qin Shaochu saw Duan Qiuyue carefully picking under the lychee tree, and smiled slightly. Then a person was called.

The man saw Qin Shaochu calling to himself, and hurriedly walked up to Qin Shaochu, "Young Master Qin, is there something wrong?" Qin Shaochu replied: "You will call a few people and prepare some lychees to send to the emperor and them." The man nodded hurriedly, "Okay, Gongzi Qin, I'll call someone to prepare immediately."
